Crying out for Succour

As the future is submerged with despair

Forces of disarray tearing each other apart,

Deteriorating. degrading and destroying

Delivering blossoming grief, so suffocating,

With two countries.side by side suffering 

One far more, with daily iniquity and cruelty,

While bombs rain down with twisted agony

Creating so much sadness and brutality,

Out of the bowels of malevolence and carnage 

There is a pallid light struggling to shine,

Carried  through the continuing darkness 

To infiltrate broken minds and hearts,

In these times of sadness and madness

Pain numbing deep inside, instead of gladness,

Let our poems keep on delivering illumination

In orange and bronze, at least autumn has arrived,

Allow things of goodness continue to inspire

From the tiniest bug to this beautiful planet itself,

Everything is tied together by the thread of life

We must use this to embroider carefully,

Among life's cruelty allow love to sustain

To distinguish and vaporise the pain,

Against the rages and ravages of war 

Under the stars and guiding moonlight

Empower voices to be used for peacefulness ·

Fill your soul and mentality with tenderness,

Breathing in silence, realise all life is precious

Sparkling with countless harmonious grace,

At daybreak the hourglass releases tiny diamonds

Beyond  prisms of blackness, sparkling in abundance,

Cycles of smiles and laughter, scattering all the hate

Enabling  hope to rise, before it's too bloody late.
